About the comment system
This site uses a contextual comment system to help us gather targeted feedback about the book. Instead of commenting on an entire chapter, you can leave comments on any individual "block" in the chapter. A "block" with comments looks like this:
The balloon shows the number of comments on that block.

Please make sure to leave a full name (and not a nickname or screenname) if you'd like your contributions acknowledged in print.
Many, many thanks to Jack Slocum;
the inspiration and much of the code for the comment system comes from Jack's
blog, and this site couldn't have been built without his wonderful
YAHOO.ext library. Thanks also to Yahoo for YUI itself.
